The courtyard where the Xinyu Building is located in Kongshan is about six or seven acres in size, and there is not only one small building in it, but two.

One building faces south, which is the residence of the second lady. The other building is opposite the Xinyu Building, the first one hangs a plaque mentioning the word "book collection" on the front court, if you don't go to the outer courtyard on weekdays, Xie Huaijin will read here to read.

Between the two small buildings, there is a bamboo forest of about half an acre.

In front of the entire courtyard, except for a stone path, there is a large lawn. There are dozens of banyan trees planted on the lawn, and there are two barrel-thick mulberry trees to the north.

The mulberry tree is thick and tall, and its branches are also horizontal, stretching out to the roof of the library.

Wu Qi was just about to speak, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing on the mulberry tree, and before he could call Wu Eleven, Wu Qi took off and chased after him.

To deal with this kind of thing, the Wu brothers are naturally proficient. Wu Qi went out to chase people, and Wu Shi remained motionless and lay on the roof of the Xinyu Building.

The rain has gradually turned into a "whooshing" heavy rain from a few sporadic points. In less than half a quarter, in the sound of heavy rain, a few owl cries were faintly heard in the east. Hearing this voice, Wu Shiyi's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.

The sky gradually darkened, and the bamboo forest between the two small buildings was also rustling and turned into a dark shadow.

About half a moment later, maybe the time was shorter, Wu Qi quietly went to the roof and whispered: "It's windy here, go to the bamboo forest and say." As he spoke, he pointed to the bamboo forest below.

There is a stone pavilion in the middle of the bamboo forest, which can not only shelter from the rain, but also see the whole courtyard. Wu Shi nodded slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Brother go down first, and I will cover these two tiles." ”

The two of them entered the bamboo forest one after the other. Wu Qi took off the bamboo hat, wiped the rain splashed on his hair, and suppressed his voice and said, "That person has been caught by the eldest brother and the fourth brother. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the east, "It's in Xianhetang." ”

Xianhetang is the residence of the Zhao family, and after tearing his face with Xie Huaijin, the Zhao family did not come to the west side, and Xie Huaijin never went to the east side.

This person came to Xinyu Building first. ...... going to Xianhe Hall again, Wu Shiyi's eyes turned a few times, he came to Wu Qi's body, and asked in a small voice: "Seventh brother." Is that the one who is there? As he spoke, he raised his right index finger and shook it under Wu Qi's eyelids.

"It's hard to say." Wu Qi shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered the package on his back, so he took it off and handed it to Wu Shiyi, "There are a few shortbreads here." You use it first. ”

"Hmmm! Where do you get the shortbread? Goose ......, good silk. "After staying in Xinyulou for most of the day, Wu Shiyi was already thirsty and hungry. Unwrapped the package without looking at it, he took a piece of cake and filled it in his mouth in an instant, and said with a muddy voice while chewing: "Hmm......, eat brother, Lalu got it?" ”

Watching Wu Eleven gobble up, the corners of Wu Qi's eyes couldn't help twitching. After he swallowed two pieces of bread, Fang said in a low voice: "There is also a big bamboo basket, which is placed in the bud kitchen of Broken Cloud Residence." ”

"Huh?" Wu Shiyi just took a bite of the cake. I couldn't help but get anxious when I heard it: "The laughing lady is going to die and ......, um!" What should I do if I lose my bread? ”

Han Hun said halfway, Wu Shiyi stretched his neck and swallowed the cake, and Fang Shun asked clearly.

"Little lady Xie is exquisite, I'm afraid this basket of shortbread was originally prepared with us."

Wu Qi glanced at the small building in the south, and saw that the lanterns under the eaves of the corridor were dim and yellow, and the doors and windows of the hall were tightly closed, so he turned his face and told Wu Shiyi: "Now the eldest brother and the second brother have brought someone to see Xie Niangzi." I'll see Childe over there. You're keeping an eye on the second lady, you know? ”

"Why didn't the eldest brother send someone to the ...... of the childe." Wu Shiyi just asked for half a while, and in an instant, he remembered that the Wu family had become Xie Jiang's servants, so he changed his words: "I know." The seventh brother goes. ”

The wind carried the rain, and it was as tight as a burst. The sudden raindrops are sprinkled under the light, like a dense rain line.

It was pitch black in the Broken Cloud Curie. There were no lanterns at the gate, and it was dark under the porch.

There is no light, but there is a faint voice.

On the rightmost side door. Thick felt curtains were hung, the two windows were also glued with felt blankets, and seven or eight bronze lamps were lit in the room.

Xie Jiang covered his mouth and yawned, and asked softly, "Don't you say it yet?" ”

"Back to the lady, I haven't ...... yet." I have been a personal bodyguard for more than ten years before I changed my master. Wu Da was not only angry in his heart, but also a little embarrassed in his face.

With a roll of his eyes, Xie Jiang turned his face to look at Mama Han: "This person is hard bones, why don't Mama think of a softer way." ”

I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, and Mama Han has a little itchy hands. It's just that the itchy hands are itchy, and after glancing at the big one, Mama Han said quietly: "In this way, the old slave will try." Let's go and rest first. ”

Potential meaning, the little lady is still not present.

Glancing at the two Wu brothers who were lowering their heads and drooping their eyelids, and then glancing at Mama Han who was expressionless, Xie Jiang sighed secretly. No matter if the east wind overwhelms the west wind, it is still necessary to take the opportunity to suppress the temperament of Wuda, in short, it is for everyone.

Forget it, let's go back to sleep.

"You're busy." Xie Jiang stood up and took a few steps towards the door, as soon as the new moon touched the door, Xie Jiang whispered and said, "If you get the result, you might as well report it to the ninth prince." I thought....... After thinking that, Yoyo dragged his tongue for a long time.

When Xinyue turned around and closed the door, Xie Jiang said the second half of the sentence: "This is Huo Yanyi's person." ”

After the prompt, where does Xie Jiang still care about the three people in the room, Han Mama, are they staring at each other. Pulling the crescent moon and muttering: "I've been thirsty for a long time, hurry up and make the couch." ”

The windows went out one by one, and the Xie Mansion on East Street was shrouded in darkness.

In Changle Lane, which is separated by two alleys, there is still a house with bright lights.

The rain flowed down the eaves of the corridor, and when it was blown by the wind, it poured into the corridor one by one. Outside there was the sound of rain and water, but inside the dormitory it was very quiet.

The wind peeked in through the latticework, and the candlelight shimmered for a moment. The white face of the ninth prince showed a little tiredness under the flickering candlelight.

Listening to the outside, Yuan Shan whispered: "Childe, Wuqi has gone back." As he spoke, he took a velvet pillow and put it behind the back of the ninth prince.

Putting down the book, Jiu Gongzi leaned back comfortably, and asked lightly: "In your opinion, what is the purpose of this person entering Xie Mansion on a rainy night?" Well? After asking this, he closed his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

"According to the servant, when he entered the house at night, he either inquired about the news, or killed people and set fires. It's not just an appointment to meet someone. ”

Yuan Shan cautiously glanced at the face of the ninth prince, and saw that he was still closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't have the slightest intention of opening his eyes, so he boldly said again: "This person is obviously not from Xie Mansion, when Wu Qi saw him, this person was in the library building, so this person ......, could it be that the Zhao family sent to investigate Lord Xie?" ”

"Well, go on." The ninth prince did not open his eyes.

Depending on the meaning, this statement is not true. Yuan Shan rolled his eyes, and simply took the above words: "When Wu Qi saw it, this person had been wandering around the mansion for a long time, so he didn't go to kill people. ”

This time, Jiu Gongzi didn't even say "um", and he owed it to Feng.

"I heard Wu Qi say that he was caught near Xianhe Hall, does this person have an appointment with the Zhao family?" Yuan Shan secretly glanced at Jiu Gongzi and asked cautiously: "This person wants to meet with the Zhao family, but he strayed into the library?" ”

Jiu Gongzi opened his eyes, glanced at the distant mountains with lacquer-like eyes, and said lightly: "This person is not going to see the Zhao family. After saying this, he saw that Yuanshan was at a loss, and then said, "He is looking for Sister Xie." ”

Who would send someone to visit the little lady in the middle of the night? Or, which little lady do you have an appointment with? The more Yuanshan thought about it, the more confused he became. (To be continued.) )
